This week, millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for 2016. That's absurd. We must lift the cap & expand Social Security.
------------------------

Wow! Not even 6 weeks into the new year and they are done. Yet the Repubs want to privatize it and/or do away with it.
I think that those who want to do so, should be required to try and live on the average SS payment for 3 months or so.
According to SS: The average monthly Social Security retirement benefit for January 2016 is $1,341. Let's see if they could make it.
Kind of like Morgan Spurlock when he had to live on minimum wage for a month during his 30 Days episode.

Lift the cap! Lift the cap!!

1. Lift the cap! nt

2. Corporations do not want to pay half - IMO that is the real issue.

If employers did not have to pay, corporations would not care one bit about Social Security.

However, Wall Street is slavering for a chance to rip off investment fees from Social Security - and guess which of our candidates is more likely to let that happen.....
